Before accepting and signing the merchandise from the carrier, inspect all cartons for visible or concealed damage and clearly note any loss or damage on the delivery receipt/Bill of Lading.

General Maintenance 

As with any piece of equipment, proper and periodic maintenance is necessary to ensure the longevity of the product and customer satisfaction. To ensure you get the most out of your investment, please follow our recommended maintenance and care instructions.  

We recommend that the products be examined every 30 days. Items requiring adjustments, showing any sign of structural failure, missing hardware, or showing any cracks at the welds should be taken out of service immediately until repaired. 

Loose screws should be tightened as required and missing or worn-out foot caps must be replaced. To obtain replacement parts, please contact your local sales representative and/or [email protected].  

Furniture should be handled with care. When chairs are stacked, the stack should not be dragged. Stackable chairs should not be dropped or slammed down when being unstacked. People should not rock back or stand on. 

For storage, all furniture should be stored neatly, stacked to the suggested height, and packed in a clean and dry area. Tables should not be flipped and stacked. Any standing water needs to be removed to avoid damage to the finish. Cushions that are stored for longer periods of time should be stored in a well ventilated area. 

Note: warranty may be voided if proper maintenance or care is not followed. Proof of care and maintenance is required with claims being made.

Bum Commercial Furniture has a 3 year limited warranty on all products. The limited warranty does not apply to damage resulting from accident, alteration, misuse, tampering, negligence, abuse or normal wear and tear. All items must be properly assembled and taken care of as per instructions. Upkeep of product (I.e. replacing chair feet) is the responsibility of the customer.  

Warranty is only valid if all parts that can wear (I.e. foot caps) are replaced annually. Parts must be purchased within one month of replacement time and proper maintenance must be followed. Product failure caused by lack of reasonable and necessary care and maintenance is not covered under warranty.
